Hi, I want to introduce me to scribus list: My name is Andrea Astfalk, living in Baden-W?rttemberg near Stuttgart. My profession is typesetter (out of job at the moment), using Ventura Publisher, CorelDraw and Advent 3b2 (under Windows). At home I am currently using Mandrake Linux 9.2.
Scribus was discovered a couple of weeks ago (LinuxUser), but today I installed the newest version from CVS. I found a little bug: 1. It is not possible to create lines < 1pt. This was possible in my old version (1.0.1). And something for the wishlist: 1. There should be a possibility of tweaking vertical space before and after a paragraph without creating a special style . 2. Is it possible to allow negative values for the vertical space. 3. There should also be the possibility to make a special vertikal space at the beginning of the column. So you can adjust the beginning of the column autonomously. (You don't need to create a style like "U2-first-para".) 4. Is it possible to link paragraphs together? So headline and body text won't be separated at the column end. 5. There also should be a way to change the width of "space". In some fonts the default is too wide/small. And it is sometimes a good way tweaking a paragraph a line longer or shorter. It's a long way making Scribus to a Quark-Killer -- but you are already on it! And the only other DTP application capable of scripting I know is advent's 3b2. Best wishes to Scribus' developers and users Andrea -- Information geht immer verloren, das ist das Ringen ...
